Please Use Edit Summaries

edit

 

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:


 

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field - please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.

Folkwang Academy: Alumnus Peter Bialobrzeski

edit

I'm baffled. I noticed you improved the article on Peter Bialobrzeski and added him as alumnus to Folkwang Academy, but almost immediately undid that edit. Was that a slip of the mouse or is there some serious consideration behind it? I think he should be listed there - the DE edition lists him as well. Regards, Michael Bednarek 05:49, 1 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

That was a mistake. Of course Peter Bialobrzeski should be listed there--Freiwilliger 09:42, 1 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of European League of Institutes of the Arts, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.elia-artschools.org. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

Vimeo "Polemics" section

edit

Hi -- I'm the 2nd user to object to your "Polemics" addition to the Vimeo article -- could you address our concerns on Talk:Vimeo? Thanks --Jamiew (talk) 16:37, 11 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Margaret Mead Film Festival, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Spellbound, Paris Is Burning and Power Trip (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of Samsung Apps

edit
 

The article Samsung Apps has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

reads like an advertisement and is unsourced

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

  Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to FIAPF may have broken the syntax by modifying 5 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
